I feel like Giselle could be given a better song since 2HOT4U doesn’t even fit her vibe and I don’t like how it sounds

I dont like it much either, but I disagree that it doesn't suit her vibe. it has such semi-ironic ABG energy and is exactly what I would expect from her :skull:

    some of the new members not giving new at all 

I can't believe that they performed 11 new songs in a concert and the album date hasn't even been announced. An abject disaster. Not even Blackpink is this mismanaged :deadbanana2:

over 70k likes for the fancam of Winter and her guitar

she keeps getting viral :jonny5:

Giselle literally mentioned how she wants to do citypop, obviously in love with r&b. Not once did she ever mention "baddie" music :rip: 2hot4u to me has no redeeming factor and just sounds corny. Like there is no reason for the main VOCALIST to be given a better rap song than the literal main RAPPER (Ningning still slayed). My sister doesn't deserve to be set up like this and I have no choice but to blame the illusion producers who got too cocky after that song became big. I know I sound dramatic but if 2hot4u gets released it will officially be my 9/11! 

 

To think she went viral and has nearly 7M views for this kind of vibe but SM decided to give her trash as sabotage: 

 

Also Giselle was never an ABG...she just looked like that only

Yeah there's been a lot of crossed signals when it comes to Giselle since the beginning tbh, idk why SM even decided to give her the rapper position when Karina constanly gets more and better raps on their songs. I think SM thinks native english speaker = rapper. I remember when they tried it with Tiffany aswell nn

Giselle is clearly a singer, she has a typical japanese r&b tone and that's pretty much why her vocals are all over the base melodies of aespa choruses.

I like 2Hot4U though :emofish:

The difference is that Giselle actually AUDITIONED for the rap role unlike other female SM artists so she got what she wanted...just not in the same quality as the other members who are rapping without the main rapper position

Here's my take on lipsync. If a company is going to make their idols lipsync, then they better teach them how to do it correctly. Most of the acts don't even know how and you can clock them easily. Give me an illusion at least.

Nayeoncé had the best chorus I fear, and he "ooh yeah" ad-lib right before the chorus makes it 100x better :WAP: I kinda also lived for Nayeoncé screaming over JeonGod in the final chorus :emofish:

 

Though JeonGOD usually eats up both Jihyo and Nayeoncé, this time it was Nayeoncé eating them up in "I Can't Stop Me" like from her chorus to all of her ad-libs :WAP: I love me a screecher sometimes, which is why also live for whenever Winter and Tiffany are screaming in aespa and SNSD songs :jonny3:

Woke culture is low key kinda dying, so there's that. Some of the things I have seen people getting offended over these recent times ever since the pandemic started though :deadbanana4:

 

The fact that they only realized what it looked like once they saw themselves on the screen  :skull:

Maybe you like screechers, but a true vocalist is supposed to sing with a relaxed throat and not strain too much while still having that resonance and power, and that’s exactly what Jeongyeon is in ICSM. And I tend to gravitate towards those kinda vocalists. Other such vocalists for me are DK and D.O. :WAP: Nayeonce has a great pop tonal quality but she strains way too much for me to fully enjoy her voice. She sounds much more pleasant and natural in songs like these imo

She's getting almost all the adlibs in the new songs 

Maybe she just didn't wanted to in her solo and just enjoy her chill moment 

True. Plus we're not even sure these new aespa songs are gonna make the album, or if Sm intended to spoil the whole album before its release

i read somewhere on Twitter where Winter mentioned she might dance for her solo tomorrow though, let's see :jonny5:

Is it gonna be another solo (a dance song perhaps?) Or is she really gonna dance over lullaby beats, I- :jonny3:

Well I used to be a Rexhar (Bebe Rexha stan) before I got into Kpop, and I actually knew of TXT back then as well due to Soobin being a Rexhar, and it was cool to see a random Korean celebrity stanning and appreciating Bebe like this. However the first impression I got from him, after seeing him fangirl over Bebe like this was that he was a *** :fish2:

 

 

Huening Kai is honestly one of the most attractive male idols ngl

 

Yeah TXT have this flower boy and feminine concept compared to the rest of the 4th gen bgs + they have Soobin so it's very understandable why a lot of people  associate them with LGBT

Like they are very camp in general

Tbf I did not know that Txt being gay is a whole conversation among kpop stans in here, although I was detecting a bit of fruity-ness because of the bizarre Bebe stanning from Soobin, Hyuka's fascination with stuff toys, and those gay dating rumors involving Yeonjun and Soobin irrc. I was just playing along with the people in here :dies:
